Configuration and Firmware File Maintenance

11-11

Step 5. Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the

computer. The file name for the firmware is “ras” and the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-
zero, not capital o).

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP
transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your
TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, “put” the other
way around, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

11.4.5 Example: TFTP Command

The following is an example tftp command:

TFTP [-i] host put firmware.bin ras

where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the
Prestige’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware
on the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the Prestige).

Commands that you may see in third party TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

TFTP over WAN will not work if you have applied a filter in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet service.
